"What I'm saying is if you play with fire, you WILL eventually get burned. So if you are UNPREPARED to get burned. DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE."
That's very enlightened. Have you ever considered it might not BE someone's choice to be... raped perhaps? Then you have this guy's kid, cos you weren't allowed to decide the fate of your own body. Oh, and as for your condom comment: I live in a country where the AIDS pandemic is threatening to wipe out an entire generation. Now, what do you think God wants? A bunch of 'moral' people, or a bunch of dead ones?

Uh, aren't your two options, in this case, actually the same thing?
Or, wait. I'm thinking of the Catholic Church's position on birth control, but I guess here we're talking about abstinence?

No right-thinking legistlator, regardless of intent, will ever stymie a successful flurry of blows to an unsuspecting abdomen.

When did you pop back up out of the woodwork?
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

As though it affects them directly somehow.
Well it does effect them, collectively. These same rich white men depend on a large source of cheap labour for their collective wealth. The more unwanted babies that are born, often forcing the mother into some kind poverty, the more people there are willing to work for less than a dollar an hour just to survive. I doubt that most of these men have made that conscious leap, but I think they're group sub-conscious certainly has. The great majority of Republican legislation can be seen as a way to increase the cheap labour pool, from extending the H1-B (Did I get that right? I actually live in the UK) Visa programme to neutering big unions to advocating religious fundamentalism.
